Okay, let’s talk Peacock. If you’re scrolling endlessly and need something to watch now, it’s actually got a surprisingly good lineup. I’ve been checking it out, and they’re balancing fresh premieres with shows that just aired on NBC – plus, all those reliable franchises we love. I’ve pulled together ten recommendations, hitting everything from gripping true crime and solid procedural dramas to competitive reality TV and fascinating documentaries. Basically, it cuts out the endless searching and gets you right into something good, whether it’s brand new or the latest episode of a show you’re already hooked on.
‘Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy’ (2025)
This limited series tells the story of serial killer John Wayne Gacy and the investigation that revealed his hidden life. It became Peacock’s most popular show soon after its release in mid-October. The series combines dramatic storytelling with real details from the case, and all episodes are currently available to stream on Peacock.
‘Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks’ (2025)
This docuseries in three parts tells the story of Universal’s theme parks, from the very first Studio Tour to the latest expansions planned for the upcoming Epic Universe. It uses old video clips and interviews with the people who design and run the parks’ most popular rides. New episodes became available earlier this month on Peacock, where all episodes are now available for streaming.
‘Brilliant Minds’ (2024–2025)
This medical drama centers on Dr. Oliver Wolf, a neurologist, and his team as they investigate challenging and unusual brain disorders, blending advanced medical science with the individual experiences of their patients. Zachary Quinto stars in the show, which is produced by Universal Television and others. New episodes premiered this fall on NBC and are also available for streaming on Peacock, with each season released weekly and episodes available to stream the next day.
‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ (1999–present)
This series follows the detectives of the 16th Precinct of the NYPD as they investigate sexual assault cases, from the initial response to the courtroom. Mariska Hargitay stars, alongside other familiar faces who handle a variety of challenging cases. New episodes are available to stream on Peacock the day after they air, and you can also watch previous seasons on the platform.
‘Law & Order’ (1990–present)
The original ‘Law & Order’ follows both police detectives investigating crimes and the Manhattan prosecutors who build their cases. Each episode typically shows a complete investigation and courtroom trial. While the cast has been updated in recent seasons, the show still focuses on current events and real-life crimes. New episodes are available on Peacock the day after they air on television, and many past seasons are also available for streaming.
‘Chicago Med’ (2015–present)
As a huge fan of the ‘One Chicago’ universe, I’m really enjoying the latest show, ‘Chicago Med’. It’s a fast-paced look inside the emergency room at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center – you see everything from quick decisions about who gets seen first, to really intense medical cases, and even the tough ethical choices doctors have to make. It’s great to see familiar faces like S. Epatha Merkerson and Oliver Platt back, and if you miss an episode, you can catch it the next day on Peacock. Plus, all the older seasons are there if you’re in the mood for a binge!
‘Chicago P.D.’ (2014–present)
The show’s core focuses on the Intelligence Unit and their work solving major crimes like organized crime and drug trafficking throughout the city. Jason Beghe, Marina Squerciati, and LaRoyce Hawkins are key members of the cast. New episodes are available on Peacock the day after they air on NBC, and past seasons are also available to stream on the platform.
‘Chicago Fire’ (2012–present)
This popular show on Peacock follows the firefighters of Firehouse 51 as they tackle emergencies, train for the job, and navigate life at the station. It frequently features crossover episodes with ‘Chicago Med’ and ‘Chicago P.D.’, creating longer, connected storylines. New episodes are added to Peacock the day after they air, and you can also stream a large collection of previous seasons.
‘The Voice’ (2011–present)
The singing competition on NBC progresses through several stages: Blind Auditions, Battles, Knockouts, and Live Shows. A group of famous coaches guide contestants throughout the competition. Episodes become available on Peacock the day after they air, so you can easily follow the teams and see who gets eliminated. The show focuses on vocal talent, with coaches judging singers solely on how they sound – they turn their chairs without seeing the performer. You can stream past seasons and recent episodes on Peacock.
‘Found’ (2023–present)
The show follows Gabi Mosely, an expert at finding missing people—especially those whose cases haven’t received much attention. Created by Nkechi Okoro Carroll, the series is produced by Universal Television and Warner Bros. Television. New episodes premiered weekly on Peacock, becoming available for streaming the day after they aired on television. You can also start watching from the very beginning with previously released episodes.
